According to VGC, they're about equal, which is pretty bad for a 2v1. It'll eventually pass it if it didn't already (nothing online I found says it has thus far, but it's a safer bet to assume it did). It is worth noting that sources seem to say that most of the buyers were pre-orders in Japan, which sort of goes to my point of FEnatics being the main audience at this point. It won't be a huge difference in overall sales vs Awakening unless America eats both games up though. Knowing how Nintendo goes by shipped+digital, they're going to overstate the game's numbers either way due to the discount on the second campaign download. It'll probably hit 1.4 or so million in NA alone because of the hardcore fans buying in on both games - which again is a shame since it's just showing Nintendo that fans are okay with them Pokemoning a story-driven franchise even though that's a terrible strategy. |
Its not bad, Fates>Awakening in Japan. Fates is over 530k in sales (just saw it in one of the gaf threads), and another thing you dont realize is the number doesn't include dlc buyout for the second version. So its not 2v1.
If Sales were counted that 530k number would most likely be somewhere between 850k-1mil in sales
